Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and atherosclerosis is its major underlying cause. Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammatory process that begins with accumulation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) in subendothelial space. After that, LDL is oxidized and phagocytized by macrophages, turning them into foam cells that accumulate free, esterif…
Obesity is a global problem. Obese people have an increase in plasma concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) together with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the composition of the diet seems to be an important factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. For example, it is known that saturated fatty acids are agents that induce metabolic…
